The XCTC programme is designed to provide realistic and fully instrumented live training for brigade combat teams, functional and multi-functional brigades.

It allows three brigades to train simultaneously at multiple locations. The programme uses an instrumentation system that can track and record location and training exercises.

Earlier this year, Ravenswood received a contract to manufacture two brigade-sized FlexTrain instrumentation systems for ARNG. The contract also includes the supply of ORION software licence to ARNG for five years.

Ravenswood’s FlexTrain is a global positioning system-based instrumentation solution designed to track vehicles, units and soldiers during training exercises.

The ORION software platform enables training officials to undertake post-exercise reviews.

ARNG will use the software during the annual XCTC exercises across the US. The exercises will involve more than 21,000 troops next year.
